This is not a book to read but a guidebook to use. Few grant writing books provide the 2 key tools writers need to win funding: a copy of a funded proposal and a writer’s workbook. Grant Writing Roadmap is a standard among organizations that want to produce a winning proposal. It is a prime shelf reference that will be reached for each time your organization writes a proposal. Emma Bush has written a grant writing book designed to meet the specific needs of the novice writer. The Grant Writing Roadmap is based on real feedback from real writers who have attended her grant writing workshops. This book answers their need to review a funded proposal and moves the reader from the basic facets of grant funding to the final production of a competitive proposal. This book is a must have in the library of Faith-Based Organizations, Community-Based Organizations, and For-Profit companies seeking grants as a part of a well planned funding strategy.
